Holotropic Breathwork is a therapeutic breathing technique developed by Stanislav Grof and his wife, Christina Grof, in the 1970s. It combines accelerated breathing, evocative music, and focused bodywork to facilitate deep self-exploration and emotional release. Participants often enter altered states of consciousness, which can lead to insights and healing. The practice typically occurs in a group setting, guided by trained facilitators. Sessions usually last several hours, allowing individuals to explore their inner experiences safely. Holotropic Breathwork is often used for personal growth, trauma healing, and spiritual exploration, emphasizing the connection between mind and body.
